    It’s annoying watching them win all the time, but I’m actually really happy Lewis Hamilton won in Spain after reading about what the team did for this kid.

    I can’t imagine how hard it must be for the boys parents, but at least their little guy got to experience a dream come true.

    Now I just need to find some allergy meds. It’s really dusty in here for some reason.

    Lewis used to be known for wearing his heart on his sleeve in years gone by,underneath all the wealth glitz and glamour Lewis is still that same kid from Stevenage.

    God bless little Harry.

    Maybe that's why Lewis always has luck on his side! As opposed to Alonso for example.
    He was in front and still got help from the safety car this last race,

    I think you always have to be careful with characterizing anyone as terrible.

    Uninformed on a particular issue, holding a view that you may find offensive, not conducting oneself in a good manner, etc... you can always find something to object about a particular person, but you should always consider the totality of the person. Sometimes bad people do good things, and sometimes good people do bad things.

    Lewis Hamilton may not endear himself to every person, but that definitely shouldn’t be taken to mean that he’s a bad person. Now Max Verstappen, on the other hand, is truly horrible.

    Just kidding on that last bit. He certainly does not come across well in the F1 series on Netflix. You always have to wonder how much the editing process can influence how someone comes across.

    Very sorry to hear this news. No F1 pilot should worry about their status when one knows that a true battle was fought by this young and strong child. In such adversity I would hope to be as resilient as Harry. I hope the family is doing well absorbing this loss.

    Michael gave MILLIONS to charity without ever once asking for recognition for it. His charitable work on behalf of the FIA, Merc and Ferrari is largely ignored by the very people who want us to think Elton is somehow exonerated from being a **** just because he sent his best wishes to this young chap. It’s a nice thing to have done, and hats off to MERCEDES for making it happen, but it doesn’t change Elton’s daily charisma bypass one bit
